evaluation

This assignment was fun to do because we went on two different trips to the Harry Potter Studio and Stonebridge Farm. I enjoyed taking pictures of the studio and the animals. Later we had to make three creatures and a board game for the assignment. The main problem I had was taking the pictures because in the assignment brief it said that we need to book our own cameras but I thought that our teacher was going to book the camera. I had to take the pictures using my phone and  that the consequences would be the pictures I took wouldn't be clear however I took the risk. I learnt from my mistake that I should always book the camera myself even if the teacher tells us that he is going to book it.

At Stonebridge Farm I took pictures of different animals
for example horses, pigs, chickens, ducks and a goat,. The assignment brief said that we had to make three different creatures from the Stonebridge Farm trip. On the Harry Potter trip we had to take pictures for our board game and then we added our creatures to the board game. I took pictures of my board game background so I found amazing props at the studio, I took about fifty pictures but I chose one because that looked good for a board game.
The only problem I had was the time management because I missed one lesson and we had a long half term including Expo Week. To resolve it I will update my blogs at home.

I had to create my own creatures by combining two parts from two different animals.
I chose a duck and dog and I cropped the dog and put that layer on to the body of the duck.
The second creature was made from two photographs one was a pony and the other was a goat. I repeated the process and put the cropped goat's head on to the horse's body to create my unique creature.
I really enjoyed the assignment and I am looking forward to doing something similar and I hope the mistakes I made won't happen on the next assignment. Next time I will take better pictures to make my work look good.
My main ideas for board game was to add my three creatures and it would be like a ludo game and you have to throw dice and go around the circle to win. I researched on all harry potter board games such as "Mystery At Hogwarts" but I came up with my own idea


This is my board game. I used Adobe Photoshop, the first thing I did was put my background on and used a ruler to measure the sides and then I started editing my images. The measurements were 297mm and 420mm. Later I added my title, quote and target audience. The font I used was something like Harry Potter and it's called " Harrington Regular" I used vending options to make my writing look good, the vending option changed my font style to a 3D font and it looked better. The last thing was to put my creatures on. The way to put my creature on the same layer is to go to file, open, select the image then drag it to the same layer and it's done. I put my creatures on the middle because it shows how many players can play the game which is three. This will make the player to look on the title and then he would look down to read more and he'll look at how many players can play.

I am happy with my final outcome and to improve it I will try to get a better background.
